Prime Minister Theresa May today announced that councils will be able to borrow more money to build new homes as her government’s decade-old austerity push is over.
In her big speech today, which she began after dancing onto the stage to the tune of Abba’s Dancing Queen, May said: “We are not just a party to clean up a mess, we are the party to steer a course to a better future.”
“A decade after the financial crash, people need to know that the austerity it led to is over and that their hard work has paid off.”

She further told the party: “The British people need to know that the end is in sight. And our message to them must be this: we get it. We are not just a party to clean up a mess, we are the party to steer a course to a better future.”
The government’s new multi-year spending plan, due next year, would continue to bring down debt levels but would see support for public services go up.
